[edit] OPX2 (software)

Advertising for unimportant software. Dpbsmith (talk) 01:25, 8 August 2005 (UTC)

  • delete: advertising and insubstantial. Mitchell k dwyer 02:16, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Non-notable, advert. -- BD2412 talk 04:20, August 8, 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment: Impossible to tell, don't know this market segment. What are criteria for inclusion of products. It needs a stub template and categories too. It's hardly advertising or marketing as it is, just incomplete. DavidH 05:33, August 8, 2005 (UTC)
  • Clear advertising. Delete.—Encephalon | ζ | Σ 08:08:34, 2005-08-08 (UTC)
  • Weak Keep. May be notable, has over 10,000 google hits. --Eliezer | £€åV€ m€ å m€§§åg€ 10:30, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Make a stub and keep - This is an important piece of software for many companies and developers. The article, as is, is very weak, but so are the thousands of other Wikipedia stubs. --Frag 15:29, August 8, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep, it's probably notable if you can get a job working solely with it. Needs much expansion though. It's not automatically an advert by being about a commercial product. ~~ N (t/c) 07:12, 10 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Facts of Reproduction

Several reasons this page needs to be deleted.

  1. It is rambling POV. Example: Such innuendo is usually presented in a humorous setting, a trend spearheaded perhaps by the television show Three's Company and continued the television show Facts of Life, its successors and many other shows since then.
  2. It makes specific and highly debatable assertions with no citations. Example: Generally, girls are told about the facts of life sooner than boys, since they reach puberty sooner and are viewed as being more at risk to bear the burden of child raising if teen-aged preganancies occur and are carried to term and live birth.
  3. It is poorly written and unencyclopedic. Example: Often, the moral message is merely abstinence, however, sometimes more creatigve alternates to copulation, such as tribadism and/or frottage (are these the correct terms?)...
  4. But, most importantly, the entire article was written for the express purpose of proving a point. Quote: You all think I am just oogling her. I had an Aha! moment recently. I had no idea that boy and girls wrestle now because I went this a Catholic school system where they _still_ have some issues with it. For those of you who can stand it, the full talk page is here -- Xaa 01:29, 8 August 2005 (UTC)

Oh - and my vote is Delete. Xaa 01:32, 8 August 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete. Reproduction deals with this much better and there is nothing here worth merging. Capitalistroadster 01:55, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete --JPotter 01:58, August 8, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete Redirect to Reproduction but do not merge. Well-formatted POV rant, no information even worth smerging. Fernando Rizo T/C 02:02, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
Nandesuka makes a good point; I stand corrected. Fernando Rizo T/C 03:48, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete for reasons stated above. Also, for the curious, Talk:Elizabeth Morgan and Talk:Shirley Temple are stunning displays of something-or-other by Amorrow, the article creator. tregoweth 02:20, August 8, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. A redirect is inappropriate here, otherwise we'll have people creating redirections for "Facts of Henry VIII", "Facts of Andromeda Galaxy", etc. Nandesuka 02:29, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete with no merge and no redirect, for reasons given by Nandesuka and Fernando Rizo. Mitchell k dwyer 02:49, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Oh, gosh, delete. -- BD2412 talk 04:28, August 8, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete as duplication after merging any acceptable content. Title too obscure to redirect, I think. DavidH 05:36, August 8, 2005 (UTC)
  • LOL. You know, a sociologist or other social commentator might be able to write an excellent meditation on the cultural aspects of the rite of being told the "Facts of Life." As it stands, this one's a delete.—Encephalon | ζ | Σ 08:12:59, 2005-08-08 (UTC)
  • Weak keep --And I wrote the thing. Come on. The city slicker goes out to the farm and gets all embarrassed. Happens all the time in fiction and in non-fiction. I will just go ask one of my nice friends do re-write it. Like that one that is that Assistant Dean of her Sociology Department or sumthin. Alright, you jus do that nasty vfd. You think I am just going lay down and die? You should talk to people who do research on AIDS: Every time they thing that they got that little bug squashed, it changes, and thereby changes the game. See ya around soon! Amorrow 01:39, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
Amorrow - I would suggest you take your time here at wikipedia more seriously, based on your edits, this is all a game to you. --JPotter 22:19, August 8, 2005 (UTC)

  • 'BJAODN - A hilarious article, though it doesn't provide encyclopedia information, not to mention most of this stuff is already in the reproduction article. [unsigned comment by Fraghappy]
  • Delete. It's not a bad joke, it's just plain bad. --Carnildo 20:29, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Essay. Not encyclopedic. There's human sexuality for those people who are interested in more encyclopedic expositions. It is true the "social aspects" section of that article is sadly, sadly lacking, though. It's all spread out in separate articles. While this article definitely doesn't pass muster, the need it fills is real. As an aside, I don't know why people keep mentioning reproduction. Despite the title, the article doesn't have the same topic as that at all. JRM · Talk 21:48, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete personal essay. --Etacar11 23:21, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete It is funny, but we can't keep it (put it in BJAODN). MicahMN | Talk 00:18, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Obviously. It's not funny because it wasn't intended to be. -Splash 19:49, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. This is a very poorly written wiki. Its strange language is confusing. But it had me laughing my behind off reading it. It does not belong on Wikipedia in this form, though. Nagaflas 04:57, 15 August 2005 (UTC)
Deleted per consensus →Raul654 04:22, August 16, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] CDFL

Not notable. Vanity. Advertising for a small--very small?--fantasy football league.Mmmbeer 02:06, 8 August 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete as vanity. My fantasy football league has a longer, more interesting history. Mitchell k dwyer 02:55, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete all fantasy football leagues. Inherently non-notable. -- BD2412 talk 04:31, August 8, 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment need clear criteria for notability of organizations and online communities. Maybe your fantasy league is more notable, but what's the criteria? Number of users? Length of operation? Google hits? If you don't play fantasy football (or aren't interested in reading about it), you may think it's all non-notable; some people think stock-car racing is non-notable, and pro wrestling isn't "sport". Would 1 million FF players convince you? 10 million? DavidH 05:41, August 8, 2005 (UTC)
    • Comment: It is characteristic of FF leagues not to pay much attention to the goings-on in other leagues, with a few rare exceptions. The original Rotisserie Baseball League, who counts among its owners the revered "Founding Fathers" of fantasy baseball, might be one, but it has published tens of books and its members were either notable when the league began (sportswriters of national repute, for instance) or became notable after (as published experts in baseball analysis). So, no, I wouldn't categorically consider all fantasy leagues non-notable, but your typical fantasy footbal league is not like your typical university or your typical professional league. It's just a bunch of schmoes, among whom I count myself, who love sports. Mitchell k dwyer 08:16, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep: Seems like it's been around a long time, and has a lot of participants.
Unsigned comment by Voyager640.
  • Delete If this league has published any books on the subject or produced any works that other FF leagues deem notable, it might be worth keeping.
Unsigned comment by Allegrorondo.
  • Delete. FF leagues are inherently non-notable, sadly. ral315 18:25, August 8, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Philip tiberius naess gross

Non-encyclopaedic and non-notable Dave.Dunford 02:31, 8 August 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete unless references are provided. I can't verify that this person exists. Pburka 03:54, August 8, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Probable hoax. Google has nothing, which is unfathomable for a model. -- BD2412 talk 04:33, August 8, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete non-encyclopedic, unverified, age 13
  • Comment -- improvement and NPOV tags needed, no vote -- can't verify notability, but if person has worked for major labels and appeared in major media, well, maybe. Some 13-year-old models may actually be notable no doubt. DavidH 05:45, August 8, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Mark Trollinger

non-notable, claim to fame is involvement in CDFL, itself under VfD for non-notability. Sdedeo 02:35, 8 August 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete. He seems like an interesting person. An interesting, non-notable person. Mitchell k dwyer 02:57, 8 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Men and Cats

Article appears to be based on a biased internet rumor. If it is real, more citation should be given and it should be merged into cat anyway. Decapod73 02:42, 8 August 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete. I am a cat, and I disagree with the analysis. Sdedeo 05:27, 8 August 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete. No sources provided, unverified, original research. Sjakkalle (Check!) 08:29, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. anything good should be merged into cat --Eliezer | £€åV€ m€ å m€§§åg€ 10:35, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete Nothing useful to merge into cat, since it's not only OR, but is the opposite of the few surveys I've seen (ISTR higher proportion of males than females own cats, relative to owning dogs, with differences below significance levels). Basically, this is a load of barse and should be treated as such. Grutness...wha? 14:54, 8 August 2005 (UTC) (co-signed by Nut and Bolt, kittens of this parish)
  • Delete - As both a cat owner and a preferrer of intellectual women, I find this fake apparent scientific study interesting, but the fact remains that it is still fake and does not belong at Wikipedia. There are zero google hits for "Aka K. Molitov," so, even if the scientist exists, he or she is not particularly well known, and, as such, is not a credible source.--Frag 20:55, August 8, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete as personal essay and original research unless good verifiable sources are provided prior to expiration of VfD discussion. There oughta be a law allowing speedy deletion of any article that says "studies have shown" without citing at least a couple of studies... Dpbsmith (talk) 22:53, 8 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Michael A. Langley

Vanity. Clearly not notable. Isn't really in a band and hasn't released any must--just wants to. Mmmbeer 02:55, 8 August 2005 (UTC)

  • Speedy delete. Both the original page and the current version qualify as an article about a real person which does not not assert that person's notability. Pburka 03:57, August 8, 2005 (UTC)
  • Speedy delete under A7. Apparently, he hopes to have a Wikipedia page when he becomes famous. Unfortunately, that time has not yet arrived. Capitalistroadster 04:10, 8 August 2005 (UTC)

The result of the debate was merge with democracy. No consensus to delete, but unanimous consensus that the article should not remain as it is. There is a majority of "delete"-votes but Wikipedia is not a democracy... Sjakkalle (Check!) 08:10, 17 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] "is not a democracy"

"'is not a democracy' is a common phrase." Well, so is "is not a monarchy," "is not a dictatorship," "is not a fascist state," and (my personal favorite) "is not a fundamentalist Hindu theocracy ruled by green Martians in feather headdresses." My point is, the article is supposed to be about a common phrase, but if it accomplishes that it's only a (strange) dicdef. This isn't Wiktionary or Wikiquote territory, and it certainly isn't Wikipedia territory. Just delete. Dmcdevit·t 03:06, August 8, 2005 (UTC)

  • Merge - if votes approve, I'll merge it into the Democracy aticle. ~ Dpr 23:02, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
  • This "is not a keep"; I can give it at most only a very weak merge into Democracy. But note WP:WWIN#Wikipedia_is_not_a_democracy. Barno 01:13, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge into Democracy. The point is interesting enough to retain, but isn't meritorious of its own article. Tobycat 06:06, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Bare Merge into Democracy. The article only just escapes deletion. Avalon 11:48, 9 August 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete per above. Vonfraginoff 14:15, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge with Democracy but only with a lot of clarification and cleaning up to make it more than just a simple dicdef Zaw061 14:30, 10 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Edward Phoenix

Fictional character. I can't tell if it's part of any published game. Kappa 03:20, 8 August 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete. Kappa has corrected me on the finer points of the CSD. As this is admittedly fictional, it does not qualify for a patent nonsense speedy. A search of Google for "Edward Phoenix" Dungeons Dragons culls zero hits, as does a search for "Edward Phoenix" D&D. This is an RPG character vanity page. (To avoid a wall of text in this nom, I've removed my original vote, see history if you want to see it). Fernando Rizo T/C 04:58, 8 August 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep, she is notable specifically because she is a woman competing in a man's field. She's received at least statewide notice. Nandesuka 03:58, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Weak keep. She's competed at a higher level in the state than any other female wrestler. It would be a strong keep if national notability could be established. Pburka 04:00, August 8, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep, Oh heck, keep her. Let's see if she pursues wrestling in college. It will be important to see what happened to this potential leader.

Amorrow 05:20, 8 August 2005 (UTC)

  • Weak keep kind of represents the threshold of notability. Youngamerican 16:54, 8 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Duvision

Marked for speedy but isn't a candidate. I'm pretty positive this is a hoax. Google for Duvision Israel gets no relevant hits, which seems unlikely if the contents are to be believed. — Gwalla | Talk 03:45, 8 August 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete. Hoax. Notice link to Gal Vardi which was deleted ostensibly due to lack of sources, and information on which is unavailable elsewhere. Mistercow 03:55, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Hoax. Certainly not a candidate for speedy deletion, though. Pburka 04:04, August 8, 2005 (UTC)
    • Comment. The deletion of Gal Vardi is somewhat suspicious. The logs simply show that User:Redwolf24 deleted it as (nonsense). But the cached page at google doesn't really meet the criteria for patent nonsense. Pburka 04:12, August 8, 2005 (UTC)
      • The whole article is crap. Sumalia does not exist in the Westbank. Then it becomes Somalia. Mount Hiria is a garbage dump between Ramat Gan and Azor. The massacre refers to the allegation of 400-3000 which were supposedly massacred in Jenin long after this man did not die. I am quite certain the hoax is by an Israeli making fun of idiots who will believe anything bad being said about them. Yeah and he loved lemons. Redwolf24 knew what he was doing. gidonb 05:20, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
        • I agree that the articles are nonsense, but they are not Wikipedia:Patent nonsense. The definition of patent nonsense is:
          1. Total nonsense - i.e., text or random characters that have no assignable meaning at all. That means things like "asdfasdfasdfasdfatpotatoasdfasdfasdfasdf", where someone bangs on the keyboard a lot.
          2. Content that, while apparently meaningful after a fashion, is so completely and irredeemably confused that no intelligent person can be expected to try to make head nor tail of it.
          These articles clearly don't fit the first definition, and only fit the second by a willful application of incomprehension. The articles' flaws lay in their verifiability, not in their lack of meaning. Using speedy deletion for these types or articles is an abuse of Wikipedia process. Pburka 23:14, August 8, 2005 (UTC)
          • Well, if it is abuse I am sure it was done in good faith. I know this "abuser" personally. Although he lives in Chicago, he is mostly active on the Dutch Wikipedia. This is the first time he, by chance, detected such total hoaxes here, edited, categorized etc. He improvised some warnings, hoping someone would pick up. Later he got tipped on VfD. Looking around he found this "nonsense" warning which seemed to fit the articles very well. The rest is history! ;-) gidonb 23:59, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. It is crystal clear that this is a hoax, as is the other nonsensical article which was deleted. Devusion was probably meant to make the non-existing Gal Vardi a appear more real. I discovered both hoaxes. Since the content is nonsense, I nominated both for speedy deletion as such. VfD is good too. No one who cares about Wikipedia will want to keep these articles. gidonb 05:12, 8 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Mitch is a Bitch

Delete hoax album title created as attack against comedian Mitch Hedberg. Should be speedied but others disagree. TheMidnighters 04:03, 8 August 2005 (UTC)

For those who are doubtful, a google search of "mitch is a bitch" hedberg returns (wait for it) 0 results. --TheMidnighters 04:10, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
Furthermore, on track 1 of Strategic Grill Locations (his debut) Mitch states that he's never recorded a CD before, and on Mitch All Together (his second album) he states that he has only one other CD (and the only way it would get into a record store is if he took it in and left it). Obviously, being a fan explains my zeal in wanting this attack page deleted (speedily), especially since keeping it up just encourages vandals and clogs up vfd. --TheMidnighters 05:17, 8 August 2005 (UTC)

  • I withdraw my question as to whether this should be speedied. Delete speedily. Tonywalton 12:34, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. I'm a rather big Mitch Hedburg fan, and I have never heard of this release. If the author of the article can provide a link or some other kind of validation, by all means, the article can stay. As for the title, I would hardly call it an attack on Mitch--those who are familiar with Mitch's style will agree with me in saying that such a joke certainly wouldn't be unexpected from him.--Frag 21:30, August 8, 2005 (UTC)
I'd say I'm pretty familiar with Mitch, and his style is mainly clever observations and spins on everyday minutiae, not simplistic self mockery. He never made any joke that was just a mindless potshot at himself, that was never his style. --TheMidnighters 04:35, 9 August 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete as vanity. Hall Monitor 23:13, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment I'm not going to vote on my own page (which I did NOT create or help write), But I think being a well known Flash artist with several popular movies on the worlds most largest Flash portal (which also has a article) is an acceptable reason to have a Wikipedia page. It's not claiming I'm the best or anyhitng like that. It's citing what I've done, and fans might learn a thing or two.
    • Comment The thing is, there are literally thousands of people on Newgrounds, being such a big portal. And the vast vast majority of it is pure pure dredge. A Sample of Joseph's work (That I helped with - Joseph). I don't see anything that lifts this from all the other stuff on Newgrounds, I don't think it's any funnier, original, professional or intelligent then anything else on the portal. - Hahnchen 13:36, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
    • Note - I'm not against Flash or anything, there can be some genuinely good stuff out there. Compare say Joseph Blanchette's work with some other random internet things - EPIC 2014 and Lawcops, by entertainment company Zeppotron. - Hahnchen 13:47, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
    • Comment Hahnchen , You should post a movie that I animated, drew, and wrote, not one I just helped with. This is one I did all by myself: (http://newgrounds.com/portal/view/105053) Just because I'm not the best flash animator ever dosn't mean I can't have a page about me. There are countless movie and TV actors as well, but that dons't stop people form making pages for lesser known ones. Making internet cartoons is very much like being a actor in many respects. The simple fact is I AM popular in the flash comunity, it's just the flash comunity isn't as well known as the acting one. If you want my opinion, I think there should be more entries for popualr flash artists from sites such as Newgrounds. Right now there are only a handful. It's not like its useless, pointless information. Imagine searching for your favorate Flash author on Wiki and getting a page about them. Pretty neat huh? Isn't that the point of Wikipedia? - LegendaryFrog 9:48, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
    • Apologies - I just went to a random site on the external links section and clicked on the top movie. I still don't think that your movies have had enough recognition outside newgrounds, unlike say Xiao Xiao. - Hahnchen 23:55, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
    • Perhaps more people need to do stuff like this for other Flash artists, like CaptHayfever did. It's a excellent resourse. LegendaryFrog 6:15 pm 9 August 2005 (UTC)
      • Actually, that's very much what I was thinking when I did this. It just happened that the only Flash artists I know enough on to write are the Chapmans and LF, and the former was already well-documented here. CaptHayfever 05:11, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

Keep: I think h'es anotable enough person too. He's a good flash artist and is extremely famous on newgrounds as it is.

  • Weak keep. If we delete this page, then it sounds like we shouldn't be writing articles about Newgrounds Flash authors at all. And then there's little point in even having a Newgrounds category. I figure he's a noteworthy Flash artist. Maybe not as noteworthy as people in other fields, but noteworthy none the less. Optichan 16:40, August 11, 2005 (UTC)
  • Weak delete. While I do recognize and appreciate the fellow's submissions, he doesn't have the level of notability and uniqueness that a person such as David Firth would have to merit for an article. Keeping this article would mean a green light for a whole lot of other non-notable Newgrounds artists' articles to be made. ╫ 25 ring-a-ding 18:21, 12 August 2005 (UTC) ╫
  • Strong keep, I agree with the argument about the credit we give lesser-known actors and I'd like to add that Joseph's early work not only topped the charts on both Newgrounds and Flash Player back when it was first submitted, but it has inspired a generation of Macromedia Flash artists in their work. It seems that every 1 in 3 comedy Flashes, whether in or outside of Newgrounds, revolve around the style established by Blanchette: the sitcom vibe, the character animation and the same type of humour has been echoed in countless submissions, of particular note being those of the The_Super_Flash_Bros/Double Helix team, who have already got several Flashes in the Newgrounds top 50 with their style. I don't feel that it's unreasonable to ask for a bit of recognition to a growing industry. There is obviously an interest in this subject because even if one could accuse the page of being vanity there are still people with an interest in the subject reading and adding to these articles. Besides, there's also an educational aspect with encyclopedias: you don't use them to find things you know all to well, but things you're not sure about, even things you've never even heard of. There's already a big interest, and it can only stand to increase over time.
  • Not Only Keep, Expand. I haven't visited Legendary Frog's website but I've viewed many of his Flash pieces - his Alexa rating is irrelevant if he releases on Newgrounds. In fact I'm a little surprised that The Super Flash Bros do not have an article. Their work, including Decline of Videogaming, is arguably more notable than Legendary Frog's. Certainly if the Pedia has articles on the Star Wars Kid and Numa Numa, icons of dubious longevity or cultural relevance, then if enough people search for Blanchette or Dim/JT and generate this kind of talk page, they deserve to keep or gain articles. You can put me down for "Wish I'd found some content when I searched for The Super Flash Bros, and glad at least Legendary Frog got his due." Keep up the good work, Wikiers. Aug. 14 05, Frequent_pedia_user
  • Keep Everyone I know has seen at least one of his cartoons. He is one of the most famous (and one of the best by the way) flash animators on the net. I mean if animutations and YTMND can have an article, shouldn't Legendary_Frog have one? I mean he's way more popular than them. Keep it. KEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tally (delete/keep/merge) (9/6/0)
Just to note that this vote needs to be closed and their is no consensus to delete. - Ta bu shi da yu 04:40, 14 August 2005 (UTC)

This article was nominated for deletion on July 30, 2005. I closed the VfD on August 7, 2005 with a consensus to delete, and deleted the article. That VfD can be found below. User:M-filecastle brought it to my attention that the article had undergone a significant rewrite and that the existing VfD might not reflect actual consensus. (All delete votes were cast before the rewrite.) I investigated, and found that the article had indeed been revised extensively (from a stub to a decent-sized article). In the interests of fairness, I have agreed to re-submit the article to VfD for a new consensus. I am not voting in this nomination, and I will not close the new result; it will be left to the descretion of a different admin. Essjay · Talk 04:05, August 8, 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete, as vanity, I'd say. Author of 18 books -- but all published by his own vanity press. I'd be willing to reconsider if someone could demonstrate that others look to those works as somehow seminal or influential. But that's missing from the article. Nandesuka 04:15, 8 August 2005 (UTC)d
  • Delete, non notable. Claim to fame is the industry of his own vanity press. Sdedeo 05:16, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep ~ This man is a 'link' from another Wikipedia page. He is well known and often quoted in religious discussions.

How notable does one have to be? Yahoo has over 11,000 hits on his name alone... When entered as woodrow+babylon over 80,000 hits are found! He has sold over 500,000 books.
An addendum can be made to reflect the influence he holds on this subject.
He (Woodrow) refutes the idea that Christianity developed from pagan roots (having recanted of holding the same view) and is duly noted as a well researched 'critic' on the Original Linked Page. Wikipedians should be able to see WHY he is critical of the false allegations Hislop made. Original criticism(s) of this page were primarily that it was not very well written and disjointed.
The article has since been totally re-written (with the help of others here) and polished so as to better reflect the encyclopedic format.
The 're-written' version of the article is found here: Ralph Woodrow
--M-filecastle 06:54, 8 August 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep -- this presents a clear (if slightly non-concise) reason why a published writer has "recanted" from early views. If someone, reading his early work but unacquainetd with the later, were to come here, they would be informed and allowed to view his works in perspective. It also saves an article on "Hislop -- why he was wrong" --Simon Cursitor 07:49, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete Very little encyclopaedic content, which threatens ideological bias. The wiki should reflect knowledge, not shape it. Needs another major overhaul to earn my keep vote. The JPS 12:53, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Weak Keep In terms of Amazon sales, the best rank I could find for one of his books was about ~100k, for another text not mentioned at all in the article. Works like "The Babylon Connection" score slightly lower, around 150k, which is on the low end for notable authors. The theological debate does deserve coverage, but this bio page may not be the best place to do that, and a heavy cleanup is still clearly needed. However, messy writing isn't really a qualification for deletion. --170.2.52.28 17:05, 8 August 2005 (UTC) Logged out mysteriously. --Icelight 17:07, August 8, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. This is not even about the Woodrow's book: 98% of the article is criticism of Hilsop i.e., propaganda of a single POV and promotion of a nonnotable person: 533 unique google hits, most of which from lists at book sale websites. mikka (t) 00:12, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete POV/non-encyclopedic. --Etacar11 00:33, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Again? Please. The encyclopedic content of the rewritten article boils down to the following: *:Ralph Woodrow is an evangelical Christian minister. [Dates and bio-info here.] He formerly supported the theories of Hislop as to the syncretic or pagan origins of Catholicism and wrote a book saying so, but has since changed his views and written another book saying so. [Links to ISBNs of Woodrow's two books here, and to Woodrow's external site.] End article. Anything more than that, including minutiae about the shape of manna, ziggurats, and the like, is OR, rant, and crank.

Ron Hubbard, and his theories are just not notable beyond the above. Delete, again. -EDM 17:52, 9 August 2005 (UTC)

This is not even about the Woodrow's book: 98% of the article is criticism of Hilsop
"Anything more than that, including minutiae about the shape of manna, ziggurats, and the like, is OR, rant, and crank. The persistent proponent of this article does himself no favors with his idiosyncratic prose and layout style."

The Original Link (found on Hislops Two Babylons Wikipedia page) finds Hislops ideas discussed in minutiae covering these very same topics. So the original article (with false assumption in detail) is appropriate, yet its crticism, by one of its most noted detractors is not? The purpose of the 'minutiae' in the original argument is to lay out the very case that Christianitys roots are pagan. The purpose of the 'minutiae' in the rebuttal is to lay out the very case that Hislop was in error. The Woodrow article IS ABOUT HISLOPs BOOK because the very link that references him (Woodrow) distinguishes him as a critic of it. Woodrows second book is about the VERY SUBJECT of refuting Hislop.

Assuming that the value of the need to view the rebuttal is found worthy of 'Wikipedians' perusal, undoubtedly Woodrows page will ultimately be expanded and 're-written' further so as to give an even more in depth understanding of the errors of Hislop.

Just as the referenced Venerable Bede finds aspects of his life, works, struggles, and ideas ... so would any 'completed' article on Woodrow. Many Wikipedian articles, within themselves, and through links, show both PRO and CON views of the subject. The article on Woodrow is following in the established Wikipedian style and allows the reader to understand how one set of ideas may have been falsely arrived at. (and WHY)

Is it 'more appropriate' to take these very same Woodrow facts and examples and incorporate them into the body of the Hislop articles, or more reasonable to provide the link to the Woodrow page that discusses them. --M-filecastle 21:16, 9 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Comments

This topic should not be deleted.

The subject matter is religion.

Is Humblefool? an editor of this type of topic?

There are a series of articles that suggest that Christianity comes from pagan origins.

  • Such articles are all over the internet and on Wikipedia as well.

The debates on this topic are widespread and involve both Christians
(interdenominationally) as well as 'non'believers

Mr. Woodrow originally wrote a book - AGREEING that there are pagan roots to Christianity. It was very popular.

It (his book) took many of its assumptions from earlier works by Alexander Hislop (Wikipedia) as well as his theories regarding The Two Babylons (Wikipedia)

The Wikipedia articles on the above -2- subjects LIST Mr. Woodrow as someone who has argued AGAINST these points of view.

THE ARTICLE IN QUESTION GIVES MR WOODROWS point of view as to why he found his own earlier work, as well as the work of Alexander Hislop, to be fraudulent and in error.

Any reader of this particular subject would have great interest in understanding that Christianity, while it is accused of being from pagan origions, is NOT in fact .... and that the historical facts do not support such a claim. Mr. Woodrow, and his book REFUTE these claims.

ONE OF ITS VERY PROPONENTS (Woodrow) is now one of its critics.

What is the purpose of Wikipedia if not to inform the reader to give them insight into each side of a subject and a broader understanding of the topic.
Wikipedia already LISTS a LINK to RALPH WOODROWS nameas being a critic of the Hislop - Two Babylons theory .

The LEAST Wikipedia could offer its readers is what Mr Ralph Woodrows actual thoughts on the matter are!

(Previous section added unsignedly by User:M-filecastle) drini ☎ 05:57, 30 July 2005 (UTC)

Also: the addition of this section was user's first edit: M-filecastle (talk • contribs)

Much of what is in the original articles by Alexander Hislop
(Two Babylons) are unsubstantiated and are no more than his opinion.
Apparently Alexander Hislops saving grace (here) is that he is long dead.

Mr Woodrow is a known critic (and one-time exponent)
of those very same 'opinions'.

His POV or 'opinion' is RELEVANT for that very reason.
And although some may quible with his syntax or 'phrase-ology' ...
I would argue that the very VALUE of his words are because of JUST THAT
because they ARE his words ...

When other peoples thoughts and ideas are recorded here -
is it incumbent upon the gallery to edit their thoughts ?


Were there an article on Princess Dianna's criticism of the press (here)
- would we correct her statements for grammer or use of analogy?

In an article on the Pope, (here) would we edit his remarks
so as to reflect the Protestant view?

The views expressed are those of Mr Woodrow -
any reader of such a text link would understand FROM HIS WORDS
that what they were reading WAS HIS VIEW ...

Isn't that the point ?

  • Merge into Wadsworth, Illinois as a section titled "Education." Every locality article should have one. That will also help people to understand that the entries ought to be short -- otherwise, some are bound to make the author's mistake and put entire school articles here. -- Visviva 18:39, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep This is a result of Tim Pope's odd approach to merging. The article is actually here; quite a reasonable school article which could use a lot of expansion. Tim has decided to wipe out most of the information about the school, move it to a "list of" article and then add tiny little gobbets of information from other school articles which he intends to keep as redirects. So don't be deceived by the insubstantial nature of the article at present. It has been edited close to death but can be restored and expanded whent he VfD is over. --Tony SidawayTalk 20:42, 8 August 2005 (UTC)

    • Absolutely not. They have their own articles. --Tony SidawayTalk
  • Comment: Sheesh, I'll save my effort next time. I was just trying to convert this to an actual list, per its title, since we already have a suitable article on Millburn School, Wadsworth, Illinois. If that was such a bad idea, my edits could simply have been reverted. Very strange behavior from all sides, here. -- Visviva 23:39, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
    • It's hard to explain what happened as a result of Tim's "musical chairs" approach to merging, but I'll try. The article that was at Millburn School, Wadsworth, Illinois was a clone created by someone after Tim moved the actual article to the list article. I deleted that clone because its material is already in the edit history of this article, which I've now moved back to (you guessed it) Millburn School, Wadsworth, Illinois.
    • You gave adequate material for two school stubs, so I created those stubs with attribution. --Tony SidawayTalk 00:12, 9 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Previous contents of artcle

Millburn School is a K-8 school facility meaning that it ranges from Kindergarden to the 8th Grade. The mascot is a mustang. . Although it is located in Wadsworth, most of the students live in surrounding or nearby towns such as Lindenhurst, Antioch, Old Mill Creek and more.

8th Grade students in Millburn usually are seperated into three different high schools depending on where they live. The high schools are Lakes Community High School (LCHS) which is located in Lindenhurst, Grayslake Community High School (GCHS) which is located in Grayslake, and Warren High School (WHS) which is located in Gurnee.

During 2004 - 2005, a local vote was issued to build a new school since Millburn was getting crowded. In 2005, it was announced that a new school was to be built in the neighborhood of Heritage Trails in Lindenhurst. It is named Milburn West and the mascot is a cougar.

[edit] Jason Snell

Mr. Snell has been a helpful contributor to Wikipedia and he did not start this article although his acquaintance User:Cfarivar, who is lately infamous for surviving the longest VFD discussion since GNAA, did. Mr. Farivar has advocated an atroucious use of Wikipedia -- as personal space with self promotional benefits. He suggested readers through an article in Slate do likewise. And he has now directly exhorted a collegue to follow by starting his article for him to pick up. Self written or acquaintance vanity, just like any other low-verfication item, only weakens Wikipedia's credibility. Let's not tolerate this anymore. We must hold the line here.

lots of issues | leave me a message 05:54, 8 August 2005 (UTC)

  • Strong Keep. Snell seems relatively notable, at least by the low wiki standards. I hate vanity articles as much as the next guy. In general, don't worry too much. An article with no links from other pages gets little or no attention; once it does get linked from other pages (or if for some reason it generates interest elsewhere), the wonderful wikipedia world intervenes to balance things out. Take a look at CF's own article: Cyrus Farivar. It's just how things go. Sdedeo 06:16, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
    • Comment. I should add that vanity articles that survive usually get their just recompense; real, unbiased information is added to them that often doesn't reflect well on the subject. Sdedeo 06:19, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
  • It should be noted, in substance, the Cyrus Farivar article is little changed (the Wikipedia section will be jettisoned eventually). Use of Wikipedia as a promotional vehicle is a new challenge that will only be more tedious (patrol new articles and see for yourself). If we choose to keep promotional/vanity articles, then we should accept our lack of control over the article. We can't verify most of the claims, leaving editors just the task of snipping egregious self aggrandizing prose, but we will be powerless to challenge the actual information. If the nature of an article is known, I say aggressively stamp it out. You can shrug dozens or hundreds of instances of unlinked vanity but that number will grow and it would be foolish not to expect damage to Wikipedia's reputation. lots of issues | leave me a message 08:45, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Notable enough for mine. Capitalistroadster 06:32, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
  • I am happy to accede to the wishes of the community either way -- only you all can judge whether I am a worthy subject for inclusion in Wikipedia. I did not create the page or ask for it to be created (and I have a user talk page, regardless), but I did modify it in order to add some facts about my background that the page's creator did not know about. (And actually, it make me consider that the early days of publishing on the Internet are not well-covered by Wikipedia, which may lead to further articles regardless of the results of this particular vote.) Thank you for your time and consideration. Jsnell 21:57, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Weak keep based upon existing precedent. Hall Monitor 23:16, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Issues of politics and reputation aside, the subject is of very minor interest. Contributor details should be kept to user pages. Dottore So 21:24, 10 August 2005 (UTC)Dottoreso
    • I guess it has to do with what you consider "minor interest." To members of the Macintosh community, I'm a pretty well-known figure. The key here, in my mind, is: what is Wikipedia supposed to be? A source for information on as many possible subjects as possible, even those that are fairly obscure but still relevant to a wider audience than a small circle of friends and family? Or a source for information that's both broad and extremely narrow. As Jimmy Wales has put it himself, it's not as if there are space constraints on Wikipedia -- that's one of its assets. If this article is truly of interest to nobody, it should be deleted. But how do you define "minor interest"? Is Adam C. Engst interesting? Frankly, I am getting quite confused about Wikipedia's VfD subculture. What's the point of Wikipedia if not that I can look up someone obscure like Carl Steadman (who founded Suck.com and should have his own entry), as well as looking up Albert Einstein? Jsnell 01:10, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
    • I do understand your point, but should every reporter and every columnist from every major and minor newspaper and magazine have a separate entry since they can, by defining their own ground, claim to be a "pretty well-known" figure? It seems unnecessary, particularly when we have user pages for contributor bio info. Dottore So 17:47, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
      • User pages are for bios of wikipedia contributors; articles are for topics that someone might come to Wikipedia to learn more about. I think an argument could be made that everyone who has a byline for a major publication/web site should be a candidate for a Wikipedia entry, just to promote transparency -- that way, readers would have the ability to find out exactly who is writing the articles they're reading. (It's even more important since many newspapers and magazines print only a bare byline, with no other biographical information to tell you anything about the perspective of the person in question.) I guess the question is, what's the true definition of someone "important enough to be in Wikipedia"? And should the community be extra vigilant in deleting articles about people, or extra lenient in giving articles the benefit of the doubt because what's unimportant to you may be very important to someone else? I'm obviously trending toward the lenient side, but I do see both sides. Jsnell 18:19, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
        • Snell provides a very reasonable argument. In addition to Cyrus Farivar, see Jesse Liberty (and the accompanying VfD debate), who is also a contributor to Wikipedia. Is there a list of Wikipedians with articles available? Hall Monitor 18:26, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
      • Good points. But I think it should be a question of lingering or lasting importance and some kind of reasonable standard with this regard should be iterated. I note that there are almost no entries that I can find for New York Times reporters or even critics (whose role as arbiters of popular tase elevates them to a higher importance in terms of who they are). This is also true of someone like James Taranto, editorialist for the WSJ. If they are deemed by the community (through omission) to be below threshold, I think surely the same applies in this case. The existence of other entries of marginal interest does not promote the point. Anyway, just my $0.02 Dottore So 19:35, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
  • I want Wikipedia to become the last reference of all interests. As an inclusionist, I bulk at the suggestion that an article should be deleted due to limited interest. However, there can be no compromise between inclusive interest and factual integrity. Whenever Wikipedia includes a low-verifiable subject with even a minor interest in becoming better known, quality chips away. Not surprisingly the author will be an acquaintance or the subject.
I don't want to eliminate these journalists because only Mac users will query their name; actually, I am upholding neutrality and verifiability, which are some of the central tenets behind how Wikipedia works. lots of issues | leave me a message 07:17, 12 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Strong Keep. I think that any published figure should have a Wikipedia page--if someone chooses to create it--as all writers have bias. The more information about a writer, the better the context in what they write is placed. This is true for computer journalists and writers at small local papers as for New York Times writers. The case that more well-known print journalists don't have Wikipedia entries demonstrates a bias by Wikipedia contributors, who are certainly multifarious, against mainstream media. This is well-known as Wikipedia is itself a stance against mainstream, single-voiced/publication-voiced media. If you remove Jason Snell, then Wikipedia also has to have a VfD for every single figure of any sort that someone believes hasn't contributed enough. There should be a very weak test for adding a biography, because the mere presence of a biography doesn't confer any authoritativeness nor an expectation that anyone will ever find such. Insufficiently well-known people will never have their biography read. They may post inaccurate information, but this is true on any obscure topic that no one ever reads. Any biography of anyone with sufficient reputation will be read and corrected. Further, there's nothing wrong with the subject inserting their own opinion because Wikipedia is designed to push toward the mean. A subject who persists in perpertuating known lies will not be able to persist if they are sufficiently observed. Disclosures: I found (did not create) a stub entry for myself, and fleshed it out. Someone had added Adam Engst and put a link to me. I did not create the entry. It has since been edited, showing that I have at least some minor interest to someone, otherwise no edits would have taken place. Disclosure: I write for Macworld and know both Jason and Cyrus. I have no vested interest in their particular biographies appearing or disappearing, nor my own. I edited my own biography with the expectation that it might be deleted.

[edit] Deontology as consequentialism

Original research. sɪzlæk [ +t, +c, +m ] 07:36, August 8, 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete. Original research. --DrTorstenHenning 08:03, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment. I would urge caution here. The subject matter is a serious avenue of study in the philosophy of ethics, and is encyclopedic. It needs some serious attention, most importantly its writing needs to be NPOV. It is in serious need of references. Are there other articles in the Philosophy sections that touch on the subject matter? If there is already a good article on it I'd urge deletion for duplication. If there is no other article, I'd urge applying the clean up tag and bringing it to the attention of the philosophy experts on Wikipedia.—Encephalon | ζ | Σ 11:06:40, 2005-08-08 (UTC)
    Reply I'm sure that in the field of philosophy I cannot say that I am an expert, but I am rather confident that there is almost nothing relevant going on in this field and that attempts to reconcile deontology with consequentialism are simply flights of fancy. Realistically, they are polar opposites; it's like trying to reconcile oil and water. I believe that one philosopher advanced a "deontological consequestialist" theory of some kind, but it was more of a suggestion than anything, and I'm not sure that he actually supported the theory personally. Anyway, this article is a personal essay. --malathion talk 16:47, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Re Reply. I understand how you feel, but I'm afraid I am unpersuaded. You seem to be giving us reasons why you feel deontology may not be reconciled with consequentialism. That's fair as far as it goes, Malathion, but it doesn't quite address the issue, does it? I think the issue is the encyclopedic merits of the subject. This truly should not necessarily take into account how "true" a conjecture is, or even how many people themselves agree with one or more of the conjectures. For example, no one today believes in the pre-Copernican idea that Earth was the center of the solar system, but that does not mean an article on Ptolemy and his astronomical theories should not be written. No one today believes some of what Plato had to say about politics and philosophy, or what Aristotle had to say about medicine, but that shouldn't stop anyone from writing just such articles. In 5 years time, some genius Cambridge physicist might show that Einstein's light constant is in fact no constant at all; I doubt any of us would be rushing to remove articles from Wikipedia in that eventuality. Now, I am no philosopher, and I really cannot tell you for certain how widely the above problem is studied. However, I don't think it's as bad as you suggest; I seem to remember RM Hare writing on the subject just before he died (see his Sorting out ethics, for example). Of course, if it stays it's going to need a massive rewrite, as it's got all kinds of problems.—Encephalon | ζ | Σ 22:49:18, 2005-08-08 (UTC)
  • Reply I understand the NPOV policy. My point is not that I dislike this article because I disagree with it, but because everyone disagrees with it. RM Hare was not a "utilitarian consequentialist" and he advanced the idea as a flight of fancy. No one else takes the idea seriously. That makes it unencyclopedic. Further, this article is a personal essay about the author's own ideas, and not those of Hare. That makes in original research. --malathion talk 00:20, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
Reply Malathion, you continue to miss the point. Ptolemy's theories of planetary motion were a flight of fancy. Aristotle's idea of the number of teeth women had was a flight of fancy. Much of Galen's anatomy was a flight of fancy. Most of Hippocrates' therapeutics were flights of fancy (indeed, all of medicine was a flight of fancy until about 150 or so years ago). Yet all of these things have a place in Wikipedia (and every other reputable encyclopedia) — and rightly so. Wikipedia is a scholarly record of things about us and our world and our past. If it were restricted only to those theories and "facts" which are held by contemporary society to be true or plausible, then an astonishing amount of our scientific, religious, cultural, philosophical and artistic heritage will find no place in it. That we don't believe Hippocrates' quackery or the Intelligent design peoples' fantasies ourselves, does not mean that a record of these beliefs and thoughts should find no place in an encyclopedia. Now, as I have said earlier, I am no philosopher. I have no idea how much scholarly activity is contemporarily centered on this subject. I do know that it has been debated in the past, and it engaged some of the best minds in philosophy. Certainly that has been my impression. Now, like very many other things, it might be deeply flawed, but that is not intrinsically a reason for it not to have mention in an encyclopedia. If you know something of the subject, I will have no objection if you rewrote that article to say "The idea of deontological consequentialism is held by most philosophers today to be little more than a flight of fancy. Etc etc etc..." That's fine (I'm assuming that assertion is factually true). If it stays, it will need a complete rewrite anyway, because as I (and you and the others) have pointed out earlier, it's very badly written. I'm only saying that I am mystified by your reasoning — that to find place in an encyclopedia, a subject or theory or thought has to be true or held to be true by contemporaries. That's absurd.—Encephalon | ζ | Σ 02:04:35, 2005-08-10 (UTC)
PS. Do you realize you wrote "utilitarian consequentialist" when you were talking about the deontology-consequentialist relationship?—Encephalon | ζ | Σ 02:04:35, 2005-08-10 (UTC) This was a silly thing to ask, and I'm striking it with apologies to Ryan.—Encephalon | ζ  17:21:35, 2005-08-18 (UTC)
None of that changes the fact that this essay is original research. --Ryan Delaney talk 12:00, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
Malathion/Ryan, I was addressing your argument that an article has to be about things that are held by contemporary thinkers to be wholly or largely true before it may be included in an encyclopedia. This is an erroneous belief. Your point about WP:NOR on the other hand is a very good one; I am rather inclined to view this essay as poorly cited, rather than wholly unacceptable.
Having read once more Hare's "Could Kant have been a utilitarian?", I am inclined to think that the earlier claim that Hare advanced this subject as a flight of fancy is in fact a flight of fancy. Hare was making a serious effort to form a bridge. Be that as it may, I don't think WP will suffer a real loss with the deletion of this article. The problem with what to do with an article or stub that 1. is of encyclopedia value but 2. is poorly written and referenced, is vexatious. Editors like Tony Sidaway usually move to "save" anything that isn't actually incomprehensible gibberish; other editors with higher standards about what should find a place on WP often vote to delete. If I had to describe my own view, it is far closer to the second than the first; by this I do not mean that the former are "wrong," in fact both "types" of editors usually act within WP policy/guidelines. In this particular instance, I feel the page should not be deleted for reasons already elaborated. Summary of what I think should be done: 1. Keep the page. 2. Reduce it to a stub with only verifiably true details of the concept, with references. Kind regards—Encephalon | ζ  17:21:35, 2005-08-18 (UTC)

    • Had some thoughts, so I'll share them with you all. I have some objections to the rule that important speeches are okay if they are substantiated with some background information. I feel this background info is desirable and definitely helps the reader and makes the article more encyclopadeic. But the absence of this information does *not*, IMO make grounds for deletion of an article from wikipedia. This is a personal opinion and opinions differ. Do let me know what others think. Alternatives like {{attention}} or {{cleanup}} could be pursued. Do let me know what you all think. I'm new to wikipedia, please be gentle :-) Manik Raina 09:11, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
      • If all that an article contains is the text of the speech, then it should be on Wikisource, which has been designed for, and is exactly the place for information such as that (the same policy applies with lyrics, text of books, etc etc). Proto t c 15:38, 10 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Ritual Decalogue

Delete this rambling mish-mash that duplicates the Ten Commandments article; it's full of original research (see Talk:Ritual Decalogue); the topic could easily be redirected to the Ten Commandments article where the uniqueness of the word "Ritual" could be explained; "Decalogue" already means "ten commandments/utterances"; anything deemed suitable could be added to the Ten Commandments; as it stands, this article merely adds gratuitous clutter to a serious subject.IZAK 09:22, 8 August 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete as above. IZAK 09:23, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
  • To make sure there are no doubts, I'm going to be verbose: Salvage anything worthwhile from this article and merge it with Ten Commandments. Then delete this article and recreate it as a redirect to Ten Commandments. Now, voy a volver a mirar la revista de «Battlestar Galactica» por SciFi... Tomer TALK 09:37, August 8, 2005 (UTC)
    • There is no consensus to put the material into Ten Commandments. Do check the talk page. Pilatus 14:37, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
It does not in the least duplicate the TC article. There are two Decalogues discussed in biblical scholarship, the Ethical and the Ritual. I made this a separate article because it's not the common understanding of the "Ten Commandments", and I didn't think people would appreciate having it in the main TC article. Izak and Tomer, if you would prefer to divide that article into two sections, Ethical Decalogue and Ritual Decalogue, I would have no objection. In fact, I would prefer it: I agree with you that that's where it belongs. I was merely attempting to avoid the edit war that I thought might follow.
Please delete any original research. I agree the article's a mish-mash; I'm not the person to write it. I came to Wikipedia to read up on this topic, and it's a rather egregious omission on the part of Ten Commandments article not to mention the Ritual Decalogue. Better a mish-mash, which will improve with time as other editors play their part, than silence. Please improve the article to make it more respectable, wherever it ends up. kwami 09:57, 2005 August 8 (UTC)
Hi Kwami: It is rather poor form to "create" articles out of thin air, and then admit that they are in fact "mish-mash" to wit! May I suggest that you first learn how to do things in the Wikipedia:Sandbox. Writing an article is not the same as putting down in writing the stream of consciousness of one's mind about any given subject. All you are citing are philosophical and moral aspects, perhaps, of the Ten Commandments...otherwise articles could become splintered in 6 billion ways as each person on Earth comes along and has "thoughts" and "ideas" that they may dredge up from the Internet or wherever. We must be more responsible than that in creating a respectable and coherent online Encyclopedia that conforms to accepted scholarship. What you say here merely re-inforces the need to delete the article (and place anything of value on the Ten Commandments page.) Thanks. IZAK 10:32, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
You seem to be missing the point. I'm prepared to accept the criticism that the article is mishmash, because I know I'm not the best writer in the world. But these are not my opinion about the TC, or dredged up from the internet. They are accepted scholarship, and can be found in standard biblical commentary. You can perhaps find better sources than I. This material needs to be in here somewhere, preferably in the TC article. It should be clear that according to much biblical criticism, there are two distinct Decalogues. One is not a "philosophical" version of the other, at least not according to the sources I've cited. (There will of course be other points of view which I have not found.) kwami 11:28, 2005 August 8 (UTC)
  • Keep or merge as above. kwami 09:57, 2005 August 8 (UTC)

  • Redirect to Ten Commandments The term is notable. Pilatus 12:35, 8 August 2005 (UTC) Keep. Consensus at Ten Commandments is to have that page to refer to the Ten Commandments proper, and the term Ritual Decalogue or Ceremonial Decalogue is notable in the literature. Clean up, remove original research, then it will stand. Pilatus 13:37, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge with Ten Commandments after reducing to the bare bones. This is nothing but a vehicle for the documentary hypothesis (although it goes back to Goethe) and has no other notability. JFW | T@lk 13:47, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
    • Even if you don't like the Documentary Hypothesis, it's still notable. Hey, even though I don't like Creation Science, the term still belongs in an encyclopedia. Pilatus 13:37, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

  • DeleteAs per IZAK's suggestion. This article is based on flawed analysis of the Old Testament DRosenbach 12:21 11 August 2005
    • It's not up to us to judge if the scholarship is OK, that would be original research and pushing POV. What counts is that the Documentary Hypothesis is a notable view. Yes, the article needs serious reworking. Pilatus 14:37, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. I'm not in favour of merging these with the Ten Commandments article since it is an unrelated set of injunctions. Which set may be Moses's original set may be open to debate, or not, but it's the other one which is known today as the "Ten Commandments". IMHO merging the articles would be misleading; but the article as it stands looks already interesting, NPOV (or if some people think it isn't, it can be made so), and it can also be seen as useful in that it's easier to remember "Ritual Decalogue" than "Exodus 34" which is the place where to find it in the Bible. -- Tonymec 23:54, 13 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep per kwami, Pilatus & Tonymec. Mish-mashery is a necessary first step for many a good article. I appreciate that this is not orthodox understanding, and it needs to be cleaned up to reflect this, but the sources already cited show it is one scholarly understanding, and notable enough for its own article outside "documentary hypothesis" or "Ten Commandments".Lusanaherandraton 11:56, 15 August 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete- what makes Princess Di, or Carol Burnett a gay icon as opposed to just a regular icon? The current criterion for this list is really anyone who has a following in the gay community. The number of followers is undefined, and subjective. For instance, suppose I am gay and think that Jani Rita is a good role-model. I could include him on the list, particularly if I have a gay friend who agrees with me. It's inherently flawed, just as a List of heterosexual icons would be.

  • Very Weak Keep were it not for the fact that I know there is such a thing as a gay icon and there probably could be a good article about them I'd say delete. I agree with all of those who have said that there is basically no justification for any of these people to be considered gay icons and thus in my view this article serves very little purpose. It seems very arbitrary and doesn't meet the standards that seem to normally be applied to other Wikipedia articles in terms of detail and in terms of original research. I don't really want to see it trashed, but if it were come up for a vote for deletion again in a few months and nothing has changed I would very likely vote the other way. Each person on the list should, at the very least, have enough of a following as a gay icon to warrant a section in the original article otherwise it would appear to me to be very arbitrary. Some of them seem to be very improbable to me... Mr. Clean?? is this really a substantial portion of this imaginary cleaning man in an unusually clean outfit's cultural context?

The result of the debate was redirect to Mobile army surgical hospital. Now for the justification of making such a call when nobody voted "redirect". The article is an essay, and as has been pointed out, such essays should not be in Wikipedia, therefore I will be removing the essay from the "front line" by converting this to a redirect. However a number of users want some of the content merged with Mobile army surgical hospital. This is not all that easy to do, and since I am a lazy administrator, I cannot be bothered to do so. Instead, I will give other users a chance to do the merging, so I will leave the history intact. Anyone may now look into the history, and merge parts from this essay at their leisure.

[edit] Amanda Dickison

Created by a vandal to provide a source for his repeated vandalism of Families. The IMDB offers no results for Amanda Dickison - but Dickinson. Normally I would just redirect, but it offers no encyclopaedic content anyway about a minor actor: Wikipedia is not a listings directory. Since the vandal created it and is the only person (other than stubsorters) editing it, it is liable to grow into a very inaccurate article - 50% is already inaccurate! I've asked the IP several times to provide source, but (s)he keeps reverting aimlessly. The same user has done this before with Mark Wingett (see edit history); using an article for a minor actor to promote his vandalism of Mr Burns! The JPS 12:41, 8 August 2005 (UTC)

That person never provided any sources for the claims, avoids the talk page, but is very persistent.

[edit] RENAC Society

Non-notable fotball (soccer) fansite, possible vanity. The article is also wrong to call it a press agency, on the "about the site" section on the site they clearly identify themselves as a fansite dedicated to Aalesunds F.K.. It's professionaly done, and maybe interesting for fans of the club, but I see nothing that would establish it as a notable site. I'm not a big fan of the Google and Alexa testing, but in this case I guess I could mention that searching for "RENAC society" on Google prduce only 22 hits (most of wich seems to be unrelated, or Wikipedia mirrors), and it doesn't have an Alexa rank at all. I added the site as an external link on the Aalesunds F.K. article, that should be more than enough. My vote is delete obviously. --Sherool 15:20, 8 August 2005 (UTC) \

Belzebuub is a notable character. He is known by tens of thousands of individuals who have been greatly affected by his life and work. It is arrogant of you to state that he is "non-notable" when people around the world take part in his courses and read his books. See Amazon on Belzebuub

Adreamsoul 21:04, 8 August 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep Belzebuub. --Adreamsoul parley 16:08, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
Delete Just get rid of it, apparently nobody on Wikipedia has an open mind enough to find the information of any use; from what pure nonsense i've seen here, nobody here is even worthy receiving this information. Since the only spiritual beliefs that matter to Wikipedians are those of the corrupt organizations already in existence; anything that isn't already corrupted by mainstream mediocrity and greed should be deleted. Only corrupt mainstream-accepted information is allowed on the Wikipedia (i.e. information from organizations that collect large sums of money from their members "on behalf of god"), not information from individuals who give away electronic copies of their information and seek no financial support from their students. Good luck finding any truly valuable information from an organization founded on the pervasive principles of modern day religious organizations. I'm sorry that I'm not like everyone else, and I'm sorry that Belzebuub has a different way of portraying himself than most people. I hope that reading the article didn't offend anyone's fragile constitution. Adreamsoul 20:07, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete. There is no support for the POV claims in this article. If the book is notable, write an article on it, not on its non-notable author. Zoe 18:59, August 9, 2005 (UTC)
Yes, I forgot the outrageously POV aspect: Known to history as a famous demon, Belzebuub later repented in the internal worlds with the help of Master Samael Aun Weor - wanting to transform himself back into a Being of light. To do this, he was given a physical body with the name of Mark H. Pritchard. Is that supposed to be an encyclopedic statement? Tearlach 03:02, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
i don't see why the wikipedia should discount this information merely because it is of a spiritual nature. Channels and other spiritual leaders have done a great deal to help humanity. The work of Belzebuub has helped many people achieve the ability to perform Astral Projection; it has also helped many people to become aware of higher spiritual states. I, honestly, cannot see the harm in displaying such ideas. Adreamsoul 03:43, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
The problem is not the ideas, but their presentation from a single point of view.

What do you think that the "Jesuit Authorities" know? What makes you think that because some religious entity is established that it is correct? Just because something has been around for a long time doesn't mean it is legitimate, take the catholic church for example and all of the corruption therin. Adreamsoul 13:34, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
Jesuits are Catholic and more than legitimate authorities on theirs and other religions. If they said he was, I'd listen too, despite not being religious. -eric ✈ 21:22, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
The Catholic church is one of the most corrupt organizations in the world. They have committed so many crimes against humanity throught history: pedophile preists, getting the top Nazis out of Germany after WWII, selling indulgences to "pay your way to heaven", sending children on crusades and then selling them into slavery... It is beyond me why anyone would ever trust such an organization. There is no such thing as spirituality within such an organization. God help anyone who tries to get spirituality at a church, they have none! They have encouraged individuals like yourselves to do whatever they can to discredit anyone who claims to have spiritual information that is different from theirs. Maybe you should delete the wiki on catholicism if you really want to do the world a favor! Adreamsoul 21:56, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Scrinchy

This appears to be vanity page for a small program the creator made. Google for 'Scrinchy web server' returns 0 hits. There exists another product with the exact same description called Scrunchy (23kb tiny webserver), which is a legitimate program (available on freshmeat), so this could be a spoof of some sort as well, but I don't know what the motive would be. Either way neither of these is encyclopaedic. Darkfred 17:13, 8 August 2005 (UTC) Withdrawn as per the discussion below, this has evolved into something more appropriate --Darkfred 21:00, 8 August 2005 (UTC)

  • I am the creator of Scrunchy, which I have renamed Scrinchy because the former name has a connotation I dislike (ask any woman). I have never put Scrunchy on sourceforge, but I put it on Freshmeat. If you search today on either SF or FM you will not find Scrunchy; you will find Scrinchy on FM. So just keep the Scrinchy page, it would be reckless to remove it. (anonymous comment by User:207.245.94.146)
    • Comment Sorry was thinking freshmeat but typed sourceforge. I actually think your project is quite cool myself, don't take it personally. However, the bar for including products and programs on wikipedia is quite high. Your program has not yet reached the point of encyclopaedic notability. Apache has, but then apache runs 57% of the web. Hundreds of millions of computers use it daily. --Darkfred 17:48, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
      • more comments There would be no problem if you created an article on tiny web servers, there is lots of info to cover like embedded , server-on-chip systems and minimalists servers like your own. The topic would be interesting to enough people to be an article. You could even link the word Scrinchy into it. --Darkfred 17:48, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
      • All right, I've created a page for the ones I've found... Tiny_web_servers (anonymous comment by User:207.245.94.146)
      • Thats a good start. Still not encyclopedic but would function as a stub. you can redirect the old article to the new one. (see Wikipedia:Redirect for information on how to do it) And i will withdraw my nomination for deletion.

Non-notable politician. Only ran for one office, in 2005, garnering 2.3% of the vote in the June primaries. ral315 18:12, August 8, 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete Wikipedia is an encyclopedia not a repository of every fact know to mankind.Gaius Cornelius 15:22, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep strongly. Proposer has moved that Fosett and other candidates in the June 14th primary be removed on the grounds they did not do well. He has an article so to make a complete record of the election. I do not think it fair to decide legitimate candidates for an important office do not merit articles because they did not do well in the campaign. PedanticallySpeaking 14:47, August 9, 2005 (UTC)
  • Strong delete, not only did he not win the election, he didn't even get 3% in the primary. I don't even know if that even qualifies him as a politician. Even the real nominated candidates in Congressional elections are rarely notable if they don't win or do something that sets them apart. There's 435 of them every 2 years, going back to the 18th century, and there's many more failed "candidates" in the primaries. -R. fiend 15:53, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
    • Oh, just to clarify, I know there weren't always 435 going all the way back over 200 years, but there still were loads of them every 2 years throughout the nation's history. -R. fiend 17:44, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Uh, probably merge, or something. I can't think of anything significant he did to garner significant attention. I know he got some minor notice from bloggers who were attracted by his economically-very-conservative-yet-socially-moderate stance, but as far as real media attention I know of very little (only the one Enquirer editorial already cited in the article). I agree with PedanticallySpeaking that it is important to have a complete record of the election, however I think that the current situation with separate articles for all is overkill, and that (s)merging them all into the Ohio Second Congressional District Election, 2005 article is probably not a bad course of action. Imagine if we had an article for every candidate in the California recall election! (Oh wait ... do we? I really don't want to check, because I'm really afraid of what I might find.) In the interests of full disclosure, I should say that I have a personal relationship with the subject of this article. To elaborate on what R. fiend said: I don't think he considers himself to be a "politician" either. He's a teacher and a "lawyer in rehab" for now. Aerion//talk 22:07, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
  • KEEP or MERGE. This was one of the rare competitive Congressional elections in recent memory, and one of the few to get national attention. At the very least, the information on each of the candidates up for deletion should be moved onto the main page for the OH-2 election. --JamesB3 16:06, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
    • The primary reason this garnered national attention is because it was a special election. If this occured during a standard election cycle, these men would be even less than historical footnotes. Soltak 16:28, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
      • I don't know about that. There are often up to 3 or 4 special elections every cycle. How much did you hear about the special election in North Carolina last year? That was a district drawn to represent a Democrat and a Democrat won easily. Ohio-2 is a district drawn to represent a Republican and yet, for whatever reason, a Republican almost lost. It's important to note all the people involved so that the reader will get a picture as to why this election was different. I'm not saying they have to have all their own pages, but at the very least they should each get a more expanded mention on the central page for OH-2, and a link to their own websites, if they had a website. I also wanted to mention that out of all the OH-2 candidates up for deletion, I think Peter has the most grounds to keep his own separate page, as he was the only one who seemed to be noted by the local media as having a good future in politics. --JamesB3 16:37, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
        • If I had to choose I'd say that Fossett was probably one of the most irrelevant candidate. Jean Schimdt, a Republican, was chosen by Portman to succeed him. Fosset challenging Portman's pick as a Republican was a sure way to fail quite spectacularly, something he did. 2.3%? Doesn't seem very bright to me. Soltak 17:09, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
          • He placed 6th out of the field of candidates, and he was specifically praised by the Cinci Enquirer, which may indicate a future run for him. Considering that Schmidt gave the weakest performance of any Republican OH-2 nominee in over 30 years, maybe Fossett wasn't too wrong after all. --JamesB3 18:10, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
            • Schimdt's relatively poor showing has nothing to do with Fossett. It was directly tied to the backlash against Bush and the Republican party building because of increased numbers of killed soldiers in Iraq, a disturbing number of whom call Ohio home. To assume that anything Fossett said or did impacted Schimdt's campaign or vote count is illogical. If Fossett does run in the future, and manages to get more than a statistically insignificant portion of the vote, he can have an article. Until then, he's just a footnote. Soltak 19:08, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
            • I don't feel that Schmidt's performance had nothing to do with Fossett, but you were the one who said that he didn't "seem very bright" for running against her. You connected the two and I went along with your train of thought. As for the rest, I think that based on his coming in 6th and the comments of the Enquirer, there is enough there for at least a small article. But as long as some of that information is moved over to the main OH-2 election page if or when Fossett's page is deleted, the deletion won't bother me. --JamesB3 19:24, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
              • When I said "seem very bright" that was in response to what you characterized as Fossett's "good future in politics." I meant that his future in politics didn't look bright. Now that you mention it, running against a member of your own party endorsed by the seat's previous holder isn't too bright either. Soltak 19:29, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
              • I have no personal opinion on Fossett. What I said was that the Cincinatti Enquirer had praise for him, and that seemed to suggest he may have a good future in politics. They are one of the leading conservative papers in the city, and probably in all of Ohio, so if they see something in him, then they must have had some basis. I don't know why Portman endorsed Schmidt but she was not the choice of a lot of power brokers in that district and she will probably be lucky to survive her next primary. Anyway, I guess this is off topic. --JamesB3 19:47, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
          • Who told you that Rob Portman endorsed Jean Schmidt? That's outright wrong; Portman officially endorsed no candidate in the primary. That reason for claiming non-notability is bogus. There are other ones that are pretty valid. The rest of this discussion belongs elsewhere, which is where I will now take it. Aerion//talk 01:43, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

  • Weak Keep In my books, a person is notable if they run in several elections (win or lose). Hmmmm...I say the limit should be 3 elections. Yah, run in 3 similar elections (ie. all federal or all provincial) and you are notable. This one is close and I am generally an inclusionist on this subject so I'm saying 'weak keep'. But this entry definately needs more biographical and political details. -maclean25 22:22, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep I've cleaned it up and removed the personal attack. She is close to being a perennial candidate. Notablility has never been accepted by consensus as grounds for deletion. Now that the article is no longer poorly-written, I don't think there is grounds for deletion, let alone speedying it. Let those who are busy creating content get back to their work.

  • Keep. Did a little more NPOVing. Hi, Spinboy, we seem to have different opinions on minor Canadian politicans. Here is her record in the latest national election [6]; she placed second. I think running a couple times in a major election and receiving a respectable share of the vote is grounds for inclusion in Wiki. Wiki is not paper, and this is a fine use of it IMO. The idea of putting her bio in Progressive Conservative candidates, 2003 Ontario provincial election seems odd; she was also a PC candidate in other years as well; do you intend to place copies of the bio in multiple places, such as [[Progressive Conservative candidates, 2000 Ontario provincial election?

[edit] Rugrats vocabulary

At best, this could be merged into the main Rugrats article, but this, in its current form, is just a bit too superfluous for a Wikipedia article. Frag 21:50, August 8, 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete it's just a list of "translated" baby talk. Most kids pronounce words like that when they're just learning to talk. Entirely non-notable. Soltak 22:43, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete This is just a list of when they use words that are slightly different to their actual pronunciations. There are loads of these throughout the show, and the list just as it is is unencyclopediac. Not non-notable, but also not worthy of an entry. Sonic Mew | talk to me 22:47, August 8, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep, notable example of fictional baby-talk. Kappa 22:51, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete Not notable. Not encyclopedic. Not interesting. Not worthwhile. Not worth reading. Barely worth taking the time to write this. Gregmg 22:51, 8 August 2005 (UTC)

    • So we should wait a week before deleting useless crap? Soltak 23:21, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
      • In the case of a list it's always going to be difficult to know whether it will develop. Sure, in its current form this list is pretty crap, but the speech seems like an important aspect of the show. If the words were transcribed in IPA I can't imagine it would've been nominated. Flowerparty talk 23:29, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
        • I would have to disagree with that. The list would only be notable if there was some sort of special knowledge required to figure out what the babies were saying. It's not terrible difficult to arrive at the conclusions that shampoop = shampoo Soltak 23:31, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
          • I agree that it's not particularly subtle, but that's not an argument against the article but against the subject. It is a notable aspect of the show. Flowerparty talk 23:36, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
            • Then it should be merged to the main Ruggats article. In any event, the topic doesn't merit one of its own. Soltak 23:39, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
              • A merge is fine by me. I didn't vote "merge" because merge votes never seem to lead to a consensus. Actually, looking at the Rugrats article that's pretty poor, too. I guess, like list of Barney & Friends episodes this just isn't the kind of subject that attracts the editors. It's like they're embarassed or something... Flowerparty talk 23:49, 8 August 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep. I'm the one that started it, and I didn't put it on the main Rugrats page because I hoped it would grow enough to become a full-fledged article. I didn't want it to be just a list of "translated" words; I hoped that it would include things like: 1)Quotes from the show showing the words in context 2)Words that are completely made up rather than being mispronunciations (like "tendy" and "eleventy"), 3)Cute little descriptive phrases, like "No-Shadow Time" for "noon" and "ringy toy" for "cash register". Given the fact that the Rugrats' language forms a central aspect of several episodes (like "ATM machine"/"M&M machine"), I'd say it's a very important and noteworthy aspect of the show.CrazyLegsKC 02:41, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
    • Comment. Eleventy is, if I recall correctly, used in Winnie the Pooh. Regardless, the whole subject could be covered in a few lines in the Rugrats article without the need to sprawl out into it's own page. Sabine's Sunbird 07:37, 9 August 2005 (UTC)

I am nominating this article about myself for deletion as I don't think I make the notability criteria (although possibly verging on them). However I reserve the right to become notable in the future. David | Talk 22:02, 8 August 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep I don't really want to argue with you about your own notability, but running "the most comprehensive election results database in the United Kingdom" seems pretty notable. Soltak 22:45, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
    • That would (if true) make the database notable. Webmasters generally don't inherit the notability of the web sites that they run. It's usually what else the webmasters do that qualifies them for inclusion of a biography. Kappa picked upon the better point. Uncle G 10:55:14, 2005-08-09 (UTC)

  • Keep. Significant as politician and author. Commendably modest too. -Willmcw 00:22, August 9, 2005 (UTC)
    • Actually, even taking the autobiography (see below) at face value, the subject is not unequivocally significant as a politician, being only a member of a local government council, articles upon which are oftentimes deleted here. (See Wikipedia:Deletion policy/Local politicians for a discussion.) Many editors set the bar at politicians elected at a national or state/province level, or widely infamous failures to be so elected. This person has mainly only been an assistant to such politicians. Uncle G 10:55:14, 2005-08-09 (UTC)
  • Keep. Notable for modesty, at the very least. But, seriously, someone should check out some of the claims in the article sometime. Do Brits really use his website? Sdedeo 01:20, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
    • All of the claims made in this autobiographical article (see below) need checking out before it can be stated that this person satisfies the WP:BIO criteria. This article has no non-autobiographical sources. Uncle G 10:55:14, 2005-08-09 (UTC)
  • Keep. All schoo^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^HNon-notability not established by nominator. —RaD Man (talk) 05:41, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
  • "It is said that his birth was marked by earthquakes, tidal waves, tornadoes, firestorms, the explosion of three neighbouring stars, and, shortly afterwards, by the issuing of over six and three quarter million writs for damages from all of the major landowners in his Galactic sector. However, the only person by whom this is said is Beeblebrox himself, and there are several possible theories to explain this." — Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Fit The Ninth.

    To ensure that this wasn't autobiography, with all of its ensuing verifiability perils, I checked the history, and was pleased to see my expectation confirmed that User:dbiv didn't write it ... until I saw that it was a straight word-for-word copy (done by 62.254.64.14 (talk • contribs)) of the autobiography on dbiv's user page. If the only source of the information on a subject is the subject itself, albeit via a third party parroting it, it is suspect. If the subject really is a published author of a book with a wide audience, then he meets the WP:BIO criteria. However, the article cites no sources and so far the only source that we have for this statement, and indeed for everything else in the article, is dbiv's autobiography. The comments above are unwisely taking the article at face value. No matter how we might trust User:dbiv it is unwise to trust any autobiography. We don't trust the editors who write unsourced articles about themselves claiming that they are world reknowned academics, business leaders, coolest bitches on the block, and the like. We should not trust a straight copy of User:dbiv writing about himself on his user page.

    Attempting independent verification, therefore, I find that the book, ISBN 1902301595, exists, and has apparently been read by at least one other Wikipedia editor. So it appears that yes, this is a published author who has written a book with an audience of 5,000 or more, and thus the WP:BIO criterion is satisfied. However, the article is in need of a Complete Rewrite citing reliable sources. Uncle G 10:55:14, 2005-08-09 (UTC)

  • Keep--and perhaps dbiv could suggest some sources where we could verify this information? Meelar (talk) 14:55, August 9, 2005 (UTC)
    • I have already offered to do so on Talk:David Boothroyd. Incidentally I'm not the same David Boothroyd as wrote "The drive to productization" and works at the University of Kent at Canterbury, nor the same as is involved in the Bradford branch of the Campaign for Real Ale. I am not the Dave Boothroyd who wrote the syndicated article on the history of Joseph Day, the inventor of the two-stroke engine, although I am his son. David | Talk 15:02, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. I'm inclined to trust the user's judgement of non-notability, especially given that the book in question only gets 34 displayed hits[10] (several of which are Wikipedia and it's mirrors), doesn't appear to be available at major booksellers, and was published by an "online bookstore"[11]. Also, the article appears to be a screen-scrape of the subject's User page, making it (admittedly unintentional) self-promotion. Niteowlneils 23:02, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep, appears to be significantly notable within his field. Hall Monitor 23:32, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete complete lack or rock and roll, and unimaginative family naming convention down the generations might lead to future namespace issues... On a more serious note, shame we can't just redirect articles on wikipedians to their User: pages, which generally do a better job of description and can be as POV and unverified as they like. Anyway, political researchers are not notable by default, nor are people who've published a book, there's many thousands of both. --zippedmartin 10:49, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete I agree with the above regarding redirecting to user pages, and also the intro by the subject himself concerning questionable notability. Betty perhaps, but not David.

[edit] Linda Slavin

Not elected yet. It seems like this is a campaign ad. Non notable. Dysepsion 23:04, 8 August 2005 (UTC)

  • Strong Keep. True, Slavin has yet to win election, but she seems to be a notable third party candidate [12], winning a significant fraction of the vote, in what would be the rough US equivalent of a Congressional (House) race. This is also not her first run; she has been in politics since 1987. Finally, the article does not read like a campaign ad (trust me, I've seen campaign ads.) Sdedeo 00:30, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
    • Comment; I have expanded the entry a little and did some research. Slavin has been involved in electoral politics on a national level since 1984, and seems to be a figure of note in social justice causes for a long time before that. A little googling shows that she's definitely notable by wiki standards. She seems to be one of those "raging granny" 60s-radical types with a long history of activism. Trent University thinks her significant enough to list her and her husbands correspondance in their archives. Sdedeo 00:51, 9 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Uchu no Kishi Tekkaman Blade II - Never Say, Never Again

  • Delete band vanity, non-notable, 30 Google hits Soltak 23:48, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
  • keep, notable soundtrack album. Google hits shouldn't be applied to Japanese stuff. Kappa 23:51, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
    • Then perhaps this belongs in Japanese Wikipedia. Soltak 23:53, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
      • Comment I thought we were an encyclopedia in English, not deliberately an encyclopedia on the English world only. CanadianCaesar 23:57, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
        • If this topic possesses greater notability in Japan, whether in that language or that geographical location, that's where this article belongs. Soltak 23:59, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
          • So, we're not allowed to learn about Japan? CanadianCaesar 00:01, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
          • We have a project against systemic bias, maybe you need to set up a counterproject. Kappa 00:00, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
            • You're right, just because I'm American and haven't heard of something doesn't mean that it's not notable. Unfortunately, in this specific case that's exactly what it means. Soltak 00:02, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
              • I'm not sure I understand that comment. Are you saying that in this specific case, just because you're American and haven't heard of this album means that it isn't notable? Factitious 22:15, August 9, 2005 (UTC)
  • Cleanup, as it's not a band vanity, but rather an anime soundtrack that never succeeded quite as well over on this side of the pond. American and British anime fans might be interested, so I see no reason why this can't stay in the English Wikipedia. --Frag 23:53, August 8, 2005 (UTC)
    • At the very least this should be merged to Uchu no Kishi Tekkaman Blade II. An unsuccessful soundtrack to a 6 episode series doesn't deserve it's own article. Soltak 23:56, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Marge to Uchu no Kishi Tekkaman Blade II. - brenneman(t)(c) 00:46, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
  • keep, notable soundtrack album. Google hits shouldn't be applied to Japanese stuff. Dangerous-Boy 23:51, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep per Kappa. Sjakkalle (Check!) 10:13, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Notable album. Factitious 22:15, August 9, 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge all the related soundtracks (including Uchu no Kishi Tekkaman Blade II - Next Generation 1 and Uchu no Kishi Tekkaman Blade II - Next Generation 2) into Tekkaman Blade II (which currently has very little content) per brenneman. Niteowlneils 22:27, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep per Kappa, or merge CanadianCaesar 22:38, 9 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Nazi Origin

This doesn't seem like a big enough topic for an article, not to mention this factoid is already mentioned in passing in the Nazism article. Frag 23:50, August 8, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] The Fire

Not only does this article give very little opening context, but, correct me if I'm wrong, it appears to be about some random fire in a story that has no real specific significance. Frag 23:57, August 8, 2005 (UTC)

  • It appears to have been made from a red link in Toad Patrol. Regardless, a better article could probably be made from scratch, so delete. Sonic Mew | talk to me 00:04, August 9, 2005 (UTC)
    • Actually, it wouldn't hurt the Toad Patrol article to merge this in. Should it become big enough, it can be split out later. But for now, it may do the article good. Sonic Mew | talk to me 00:11, August 9, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep, notable television episode. Kappa 00:05, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete - Similar thoughts to Sonic Mew. I don't think that these episode synopses warrant their own page yet, especially as there is no real context to them. Merging is a good idea. - Hahnchen 00:13, 9 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Commercial endorsement

I'm not exactly sure how to handle this one, to be honest. I mean, the article title is valid, but there is... no article... at all. The author didn't even attempt writing anything at all. I marked it as a stub too, so others might come along to expand it. Frag 00:02, August 9, 2005 (UTC)

  • Comment: It should be speedied as "little or no content", but let's leave it for the full length to give people time to make it if they want to. Sonic Mew | talk to me 00:07, August 9, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. wtf, well delete it, if people want to write something on the subject afterwards they can, but lets not give the illusion that there is an article on commercial endorsement in the meantime. →ubεr nεmo→ lóquï 00:42, August 9, 2005 (UTC)
  • Speedy. I doubt anything was meant when it was created, other than to be a prank.--Mitsukai 01:08, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
